...consulted Anatomist James B. Hamilton of Yale University School of Medicine and Dr. Gilbert Hubert of Albany Hospital, Albany, N. Y. The scientists examined him, began to treat him with male hormone substance. To their astonishment, "within three weeks there appeared, along with the bronzing of the face, a tanning of the body save where it had been protected. . . . The patient had not worn the bathing suit, whose peculiar pattern the tan fitted, or any other bathing suit for five months. Neither had he sunned himself or used a sunlamp. . . ."

...soft little man who wears a rather nice polo coat and always tops it off with a tan cap, vintage of the 1920's. He stands on corners around the Square a good bit even now and says hello to most everyone. Most everyone says hello to him, too. He generally doesn't know their names, but they almost always know his. The Vagabond is one of his pals, although he doesn't know that Vag is Vag. Many a student, not excluding Vag, is indebted to this soft little man, for when they are desperate...

...test programs include newsreels and industrial advertising films which are televized, and live entertainment. The chief drawback to the films is that the screen is so small that objects in the background are all but subvisible. There is practically nothing but drawbacks to the live programs. The actors, who tan under the Birdseye lights, must work at very close quarters to stay within the camera's focus. They seem to have to compensate for physical restriction by overemoting. Twenty hours of rehearsal are required for an hour of telecasting (an average of four hours for an hour in broadcasting...

Last week came first results. Tall, tan Lewin Barringer wedged himself into the small cockpit of the German-built, Du Pont-owned sailplane Minimoa, was towed into the sky by an airplane at Wichita Falls, Tex., cut loose at 10:45 a. m. Six hours later he landed at Spartan Airport, Tulsa, Okla. Over Oklahoma City he had soared 7,500 feet into the air, 1,267 feet higher than the U.
